Damn you tall guys trying to raise the table. I am 5'4" and when I am on a 9 footer I have to remember to play shape below the center pockets so I can reach the cue ball easily. Heck I still need the rake on a bar box sometimes. :smile:

I can't wait for the counterfeit chalk, $25 a cube is not even reasonable. :mad:

I would like to put a +3 on "The Church" with "Backyard Billiards" at a close second.

CenterTable, I would like to hear your thoughts on leagues, you sound like I guy I used to see on this forum. :D

Abe, I was home for vacation last week and was able to install my slug doctor on my home table. I regret to say that I only got to play 4 or 5 racks with it but I was VERY impressed with the rack. I must have shot for a half an hour rolling to cue ball over the perfs to try and cause the...

And this is the problem with Canada. We seem to let anyone into the country these days. :frown:

Yup H2O, I wish I was gonna be here this week for the ones at the Whistlestop.

That is going to be one hel of a pool room. How much do I have to pay for a membership?

Last night was the first time in 4 weeks that I did not make any money in the weekly tournament. I have been playing well lately but couldn't seem to finish my run outs last night and had an early exit in the 4th round. I was fortunate enough to have my name drawn for the ERO pot and then...

I always play poker pool when in a group. Grab a deck of cards and deal each player 5 cards. The first player starts and trys to sink the ball corresponding the cards he has in his hand. Jack=11, Queen=12, King=13, 14 & 15 are wild, to be used a shape balls. Every time you sink one of your...

LOL no, but when I am in a team tournament and we only need one ball I will do what needs to be done to get it. In this case it was make a combo with the opponents ball. He got ball in hand and won the game but we moved to the next round. I played within the rules.

I was refering to VNEA leagues. They also have BCA in our town and I thought the rules were the same but I am not sure.

As much as I agree with you about the rules being unfair, I have potted a ball illegally (a combo like you stated above) because my team only needed one ball for the match. Until the rules for league play are changed this will continue to be the case. :frown:

I am one of the people who said their break was a low point of their game. I can't complain much because I am one of the guys who just doesn't practice the break. One of these days I will have to pay my wife to hang around for an hour and keep racking the balls for me. :rolleyes:

This has happened to me more times than I can count. Maybe its because I am the short guy at the table, maybe the other guy is just a d*ck. After a while I resorted to remembering the year on my loonie or adding a nickle or dime to my pile so I could tell the difference.

Love the set-up, can't wait to see the next match. Justin could you PM me on how to get your podcast. Sounds like something I would be interested in. Thanks, Shorty

Gotta be my mental game with the break coming in at a close second.

My league teams so far have been: Shape Shooters Angry 3-Ball Finger Blasters This year I think our tournament team name will be "A Big Wiener" because it will be funny to hear "A big wiener to table 4 please, we need a big wiener on table 4"

I do remember this happening once or twice at the last tournament I played there. It only seems to happen when the ball is hit really hard though and I have seen it happen before when a player rifles a ball into a rail. The tables aren't perfect but I would think they are on par with most...

I don't know what the tables were like for the money match you speak of but I assume they haven't fixed them. They still roll here and there but I wouldn't say they are unplayable or anything. They are upto par with most tables you will find in a bar. The rails have some serious bounce.
